Jurgen Klopp sets his sights on Real Madrid after Liverpool FINALLY snap Anfield horror run by beating Aston Villa... but admits it 'doesn't look very promising' after emphatic first leg loss

Jurgen Klopp admits a first home win of 2021 was just the boost Liverpool needed as they make plans for another Champions League comeback.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's sweetly-struck added-time effort secured a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa to end an historic six-match losing streak at Anfield and provide some hope for the quarter-final second leg visit of Real Madrid.

Los Blancos hold a 3-1 advantage having capitalised on a woeful Reds' performance but Klopp's side have recent history of bigger comebacks against Spanish opposition - namely the 4-0 turnaround at home to Barcelona on their way to lifting a sixth European Cup two years ago.
